Volunteers at the Women’s contribute to creating exceptional experiences for women and their families, offering their skills and energy where and when it is needed most.
Volunteers complement clinical and support services with their knowledge, enthusiasm, empathy and generosity, keeping patients at the heart of everything we do.
We acknowledge that the experiences of people accessing healthcare are not always equitable, and the Women's Volunteer Program is committed to changing this. Together, we strive to create an environment that values diversity, promotes an inclusive culture and establishes a sense of belonging for everyone in our community.

Alignment with the Women's Strategic Plan 2022-25
Strategic Directions
Creating exceptional experiences with our patients and consumers is fundamental to the provision of leading care. As our models of care evolve, we will continue to develop new ways to create the exceptional experiences for which we are known. The increasing diversity and variety of our patients and consumers means there are greater opportunities to improve the patient experience and make sure all women consistently experience a safe, respectful and seamless journey through our service.
We are the best place to work, learn and contribute Our people are instrumental to the success of this plan and to ensuring we continue to provide safe and high quality care. Managing and responding to the day-to-day pressures and demands of a busy public hospital, while striving to create exceptional experiences with our patients and consumers, requires us to think differently about how we support our staff and organise our services. We need to be responsive in offering contemporary workforce models to attract, recruit, and retain the brightest and the best.
